Me, I'm just wondering where they'll go with Croix's weird, angry hatecrush on Chariot. I mean, half the time she's trying to kill and/or humiliate her, half the time she's flying into a blind panic when she thinks she might have actually put her old schoolfriend in mortal peril. Lady has some pretty major crossed wires.

Croix wants to beat Chariot to unlocking the seven words and prove she is better than her once and for all, not kill her.

See also, machinegun to the face. And then she panics when she does land a serious hit. Basically, she seems to behave in such a contradictory manner that there's pretty clearly some sort of internal war going on here - I'd hesitate to ascribe a single, coherent motive to her actions.

This is a series where the main character is routinely poisoned by her best friend and all she does is develop an immunity to it. I'm not sure any of Croix's violence against Chariot would have been fatal. Especially considering how durable and superhuman she clearly is WITHOUT magic.

TFRazorsaw posted:This is a series where the main character is routinely poisoned by her best friend and all she does is develop an immunity to it. Well, that 'goodbye, Chariot' line when she did the crushy-prison thing did carry certain implications. Particularly since it was only Finneran who kept her from getting squished. And then she basically did the same thing by accident, trapping Chariot on top of a hulking magitek monster, and completely freaked out. Best explanation I can figure out, given all of that and the fact that she looked surprisingly genuine during the flashback where she comforted Chariot after the latter got the Rod, is as follows. She was initially kind of outraged that Chariot got the Rod rather than her, but felt enough... feelings towards her (respect, friendship, love, whatever) that she was willing to let her do it anyway. Then Chariot spent what Croix saw as a few pointless years dicking around with tacky stage magic, before burning out, blowing up the moon, and retreating into herself. So Croix has a massive grudge, and wants to destroy her old schoolmate for betraying her (and prove to the world that she and her philosophy of magic are better) but also sees too much of the girl she once loved in 'Ursula' to quite follow through, and is this huge bundle of unexamined angers, desires, and insecurities because at heart she's still an insular goon who never talks to anyone ever (which is probably another reason why Chariot, apparently her only friend ever, is a really big deal to her).

I actually agree with that analysis of her character, I just don't think she was ever out to actually kill her.

TFRazorsaw posted:I actually agree with that analysis of her character, I just don't think she was ever out to actually kill her. I think she got very careless with Chariot's life on multiple occasions, because she is not behaving rationally and often lets her anger override her sense/sentiment. So she'll lash out with lethal force, but would be horrified at the very idea of premeditated murder.

It's just hard to tell what in those scenarios is lethal, because again, nearly everyone in this show except Croix (who is basically a basement dweller with good fashion sense) and the other teachers is indestructible. The tension of that fight scene for me wasn't "is Chariot going to die", but "is Chariot going to lose?" That said I do agree that carelessness is a defining aspect of her character.

Darth Walrus posted:Because she's a highly capable witch of fighting age. The only one in the show, really, given Croix's suspicious reliance on technology rather than her inherent magic. Yeah, I feel there's nothing more to it than this. Most witches are too old, too young, or rely entirely on technology (Croix). Ursula/Chariot is both young and most likely has had a lot of physical training considering her magical acts involved some degree of movement, which couldn't all be magical. She's athletic, and this is not a subtle series, so that's shown in superhuman jumps and agility that fit perfectly in the realm of anime. It also makes for really cool fight scenes, which is likely the biggest reason out of universe.
